Misery was simply livid. At that moment she despised every single creature and being alive. She was sick of being ordered around and having her plans trampled upon. First by her mother, then by those two blasted robots, and now by this stupid "Doctor". "Well," she thought to herself, "There is at least one little silver lining. When The Doctor gave me my orders regarding those five other Humans that recently landed on the island, he specifically told me to 'do as you will' with them, and that's just what I plan to do!" It was time for her to have some fun!

Misery began searching by picking a random location to teleport to. She picked Grasstown. To her delight, the two Human children were standing right in front of her!

"There you are!", she exclaimed. "Now, I don't want to cause you any trouble," she said in a falsely sweet, mocking voice, "The Doctor just wants you out of the way," and with a wave of her staff, she sent the boy flying backward through the door of a nearby building, which slammed shut as soon as he was through. She then shot a blast of magic at the door, causing it to rust shut and trapping the boy inside.

"What have you done to my brother!?!?" the girl screamed, while charging at Misery. Misery teleported effortlessly out of her path.

"Tut, tut, that won't do at all," said Misery, "now, why don't you just come with me peacefully? Otherwise, I may have to..."

"You can't do anything to me, you shit-headed bitch!!!" the girl interrupted.

Misery smiled menacingly. "Have it your way, then," she said calmly. She spread her arms dramatically and the tip of her staff flashed with magical energy. A bolt of lightning came hurdling down from nowhere, striking the girl dead center. The girl let out a bloodcurdling shriek as she was engulfed in a dazzling inferno of magic. There was an explosion, and the magic stopped. When the smoke cleared, the girl was gone, and in her place was a young Mimiga.

She looked down at herself, stunned. "I... you... what...?" she stammered helplessly. But alas, to Misery's great irritation, her sudden stunned speechlessness was extremely short-lived. "GO FUCK YOURSELF IN HELL!!!!", she raged, and with that, she charged at Misery once again, letting loose a continuous stream of insults, threats, curses, punches, and kicks. Misery wasn't in the mood to deal with this nonsense, so she teleported the girl to the Mimiga Village, hoping that would be "out of the way" enough for The Doctor.

King, Jack, Himosiku, and Folka had gathered in the Mimiga Village Assembly Hall for an important meeting.

"I'm sure you all know why we've gathered here," King began, "but in case you don't, we need a plan of action to take care of this Human 'Doctor' that recently arrived from the surface."

"Well, first we need to make sure that he doesn't get his hands on any of the powerful items on the Island, namely the Red Flowers and the Demon Crown," said Himosiku.

"Huzzah!"

"Honestly, Jack, this is no time for celebration!" Folka said exasperatedly.

"What!?" Jack replied, "I didn't say anyth..." but before he could finish, a large boxy metallic creature that none of the Mimigas present recognized fell out of the ceiling. The four Mimigas scrambled toward the exit, but the creature moved with surprising speed, blocking their exit.

"Where do you think you're all going?" said Balrog before lunging at the two nearest Mimigas, Falko and Himosiku, catching them in his powerful grasp, and flying away with them right back up through the ceiling.

"What the devil was that thing!?" said King.

"I have no idea," said Jack, "but something tells me we haven't seen the last of it."

Toroko sat alone in the reservoir, her feet dangling in the water, tears dripping down her furry Mimiga face. The death of her older brother, Arthur, had hurt her deeply. She had always felt a strong connection to and respect for him, and now a Human stranger from the surface had taken his life before being on the Island for even so much as a day.

While Toroko sat in despair, another young Mimiga girl suddenly appeared out of thin air, landing with a loud splash in the water and jolting Toroko out of her reverie.

"...AND YOU CAN EAT MY GODDAMN SHIT WHILE YOU'RE AT IT YOU FILTHY... Hey, where'd she go? Where am I!?" the newcomer said.

Toroko looked at this stranger in puzzlement. "Who're you?" she said curiously.

"Oh, um, hello..." the stranger said sheepishly, "I'm Sue, Sue Sakamoto. I'm one of the Humans that landed here recently. I just met this witch who turned me into a Mimiga and teleported me here without warning."

"Really?" said Toroko, "She does have a bit of an issue with controlling her anger, but I don't think she's ever done something like this before!"

"Well, there's no use moping about it," said Sue, "I'd better start trying to find my brother again, and I guess the rest of my fami... hey, what's wrong?" for when Sue had said the word "brother", Toroko's face had suddenly changed, reverting to its despairing appearance it had had before Sue's sudden arrival.

"Oh," said Toroko, trying to compose herself, "it's just, when you mentioned your brother... well... my brother... he's..." but at that point Toroko could hold back the tears no longer. Sue understood just fine; there was no need for Toroko to explain what she meant.

"It was so sudden," Toroko said tearfully, "One day some other Mimigas and I just walked up to his house, and found his body lying there with this note attached." She showed Sue the note from The Doctor.

Sue read the note. "The Doctor?" she said, "Who's that?"

"He's one of the Humans that landed on the Island with you," Toroko replied. "I've never seen him, but I've heard him described as 'tall, green-haired, and with a strange hungry-ish facial expression'."

Sue gasped. "Uncle Date?!?" she said incredulously, "I mean, sure, he's sort of a shady character, but this!? To take the life of a stranger simply because he's 'in the way'!?!? It's just... just inconceivable!" After a couple seconds of silence, Sue got a strange gleam in her eye. "Why don't we take him down!" she burst out excitedly.

"What!?" said Toroko.

"That's right," Sue continued, "Me and you, we go into your house, find uncle Date, if it really is him, and bring him to the Island authorities!"

Toroko didn't seem too thrilled by this idea, "Gee, I... uh, do you really think we could?" she stammered, "it would be... dangerous, very dangerous..."

"Don't worry about it!" said Sue enthusiastically, "We have the element of surprise! Besides, there's two of us and only one of him."

Toroko wanted to reject this idea, but as she looked into Sue's eyes, she saw a fierce combination of courage and determination, and in that moment she knew that Sue was someone she could trust, a friend who would not fail her. "If you're up for it..." Toroko began to say in a shaky voice, "then so am I." she said more confidently after a brief pause.
